   What on earth was that? For a brief moment I saw a shade of an interesting   
   episode (the fathering swap/jealousy thing that we saw in another form long   
   ago in 9F12), but it was buried behind so much that was ludicrous. The   
   playfully morbid opening was    
   interesting in theory but now I can't help but see it as a harbinger of things   
   to come for the rest of it. I don't know what that choremonkey app is based on   
   but it sounds silly. This pregnant old lady is a medical miracle at best. All   
   the gags are    
   pretty odd. Also, of course, super short, and maybe even shorter next time.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the fractured opening sequence is 1:18, the same as the "classic" full   
   opening since season 2?   
   ...Matt's chore sheet for Bart says "DONT LET HIM SEE THIS SHEET" (with no   
   apostrophe)?

   Repeat alert   
   After the "we gave up and just went for goofy" Executive Producers music,   
   there is a 15-second tribute to Vin Scully (who's retiring from baseball   
   announcing after doing it forever and has been referenced on the show with   
   Harry Shearer's impression at    
   least a few times), "We'll miss you Vin Scully" followed by a brief moment of   
   that impression. Then the credits. Its placement seems to suggest it might not   
   be back in repeats once it's no longer timely, but who knows?   
      
   Also   
   Sam Simon, who has been dead for a little while now, is still getting listed   
   as Executive Producer, after he was dropped very briefly from the list in   
   VABF01-07 and some of their repeats. I still don't know why the name went back   
   on but I guess this    
   answers the question of whether he'd still be listed on the new production   
   season (WABF).
